The first training dedicated to the Civil Protection Department’s\u00a0myDEWETRA.world\u00a0platform, which provides global data on flood and fire risks, was held between September 24th\u00a0and October 8th<\/em>\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first online training within\u00a0the\u00a0PPRD South III<\/a> project\u00a0was concluded\u00a0on October 8th<\/sup>.\u00a0The\u00a0training\u00a0was\u00a0dedicated to the use of the\u00a0myDEWETRA.world\u00a0platform<\/strong>,\u00a0a\u00a0weather-related\u00a0hazard monitoring\u00a0system\u00a0developed by\u00a0the\u00a0Italian\u00a0Civil Protection Department<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0by\u00a0CIMA\u00a0Research\u00a0Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started in 2018, PPRD South III is a project aimed at improving risk management and coordination in the European Neighborhood countries – Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine and Tunisia. Part of the project foresees the installation of an Early Warning support system based on myDEWETRA.world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter is an initiative of the Italian Civil Protection Department, carried out with the technical-scientific support of CIMA Research Foundation, which will aidcountries and organizations in the development of integrated systems for forecasting<\/strong>, monitoring<\/strong> and surveillance of certain risks<\/strong>, in particular floods and forest fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe main difference compared to the Italian version of\u00a0myDEWETRA\u00a0is that\u00a0myDEWETRA.world\u00a0collects a multitude of data available at a global level<\/strong> that constitute an excellent basis for all possible users,\u201d\u00a0explains Antonio\u00a0Libroia, project manager for CIMA\u00a0Research\u00a0Foundation.\u00a0\u201cIt includes both static data, such as exposure\u00a0and national boundaries, and dynamic data from different hydrological, meteorological and forest fire models. It\u00a0allows\u00a0also for\u00a0the integration of local or national data that, through\u00a0a dedicated\u00a0interface, allow to improve the monitoring and forecasting of extreme events\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beneficiary countries of the PPRD South III project interested in the use of the platform will be able to participate in\u00a0training\u00a0courses\u00a0nd\u00a0on the\u00a0development of implementation plans of\u00a0myDewetra.world\u00a0at national level. The\u00a0training\u00a0held in September, in fact, is the first of three\u00a0planned within the project:\u00a0it was aimed\u00a0to acquire some basic knowledge about the platform\u00a0and\u00a0to understand how it can be adapted and used operationally at the national level.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe course took place over two weeks. It gathered about thirty participants from the different countries involved and operating in various sectors of civil protection, such as experts in hydrology, warning systems and GIS tools,\u201d Libroia continues. The pandemic led to a rethinking of how to administer the training courses, and this was the first course on myDEWETRA.world organized completely online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe adopted a mixed mode, with synchronous and asynchronous sessions combined with a final exercise on the use of the platform for the preparation of alert bulletins. The course used the\u00a0moodle-based e-learning platform of CIMA\u00a0Research\u00a0Foundation,\u201d\u00a0Libroia\u00a0concludes.\u00a0\u201cWe organized the course in\u00a0an interactive way\u00a0and individual exercises\u00a0were also\u00a0be carried out. The training\u00a0is\u00a0a deliverable of the project, but it\u00a0is\u00a0also important because it\u00a0gives\u00a0interested countries the opportunity to use the platform, paving the way for potential future collaboration in assistance and support for the development<\/strong> and strengthening of\u00a0Early Warning Systems\u00a0in North Africa\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
